Have you looked into this type of testing for your dogs?

Thank you, I really am in this for the breed. I have done some research on the chic testing and have talked to my vet. Since I have only 2 intact dogs at the moment and only one is over 2 years old she will be getting done this coming year. My boy has to wait but he is getting his bats done and my vet monitors his Patellas to make sure they stay tight but not to tight.
